STEP 2: Schedule a Family Visit and Tour

We encourage families to schedule a visit and meeting through Ravenna. Families may also contact the Admission Office by phone or email at admission@adventschool.org to schedule an appointment. During the visit, ​we will meet to​ ​share information about your child as a learner, and discuss your questions about our program.

The visit takes place at our 15 Brimmer Street location. ​

While all are welcome, this meeting is intended for parents and guardians.

Upon receipt of your application, we will contact you to schedule a mutually convenient classroom visit. All classroom visits should be completed by February 2020.

ECC and Kindergarten applicants visit twice: for an individual play-based assessment (30 minutes) and for a classroom visit on Saturday, January 25, 2020 (1 hour). First and Second Grade applicants visit for half a day (8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.) and Third through Sixth Grade applicants visit for the whole school day (8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.).

Financial Assistance applications and all supporting documents are due by Monday, February 10, 2020.

Admission Decisions

Admission decisions will be made pending available enrollment within the applicant’s grade. Decisions will be mailed home once all requirements are completed and reviewed, on a rolling basis.
